new to open office and endeavouring to write out some equations command-reference sheet. trying to write out newtons equation for calculus and leibnitzthis is as far as it goes. putting closing brackets into it sends it upstairs. and suggestions most welcomedf over dt = lim from h toward 0 f func (t+h -f func (t all over h

Basically you have to nest the brackets - one outer pair for the expression in the exponent, then two inner pairs for numerator and denominator of that expression. It'd be great if there'd be a utility to spot wrong brackets like in for instance the Pascal code editor.

Some of the equations in your attached picture are wrong! In the definition of a deriviative (3), the second equal sign should be removed. In the normal distribution the square root should not extend over the standard deviation. And the exponent is missing a negative sign. If a mathematician is writing the article, there is little excuse for errors like that and if not, Ian Stewart should have consulted with one or at least checked in standard reference books. In Maxwell's equations, terms are missing unless the charge density and current density are both zero. I've fixed the problems in 7 and 11. I didn't check the rest. What a mess!

For both: delete every occurence of "size 16".

Use .png pictures with 256 color (or less). You can optimize your screeshot pictures for this forum by the usage a trird party image manager software like the IrfanView.

Some of it could be a bit neater. It's the gaps that are out of place, particularly for:

10) Navier-Stokes as listed below:

The dot-after-the v, needs a further space, while the gaps before the first and second nabla needs to be removed.

below is my attempt in OpenOffice

ps. and it's worth pointing out that the original list posted above was written by someone else paying respect to the author of the book by listing the equations along with the mathematician and date of discovery.pps. the power went on the island of agistri a couple of days ago, and here's a poem

One trick that might help is to use the nospace modifier and insert narrow or wide spaces (` and ~) to control the spacing within your formula.You haven't given your formula definition, so I made a quick mockup from scratch. My suggestion below gives a rendering similar to yours, with some spacing adjustment.

I defined the %nabla token as unicode character UxE142, and used that in place of the nabla operator which is badly rendered on my system. Anyway, creating a token for it makes it easier to also adjust size and spacing, but may also account for the increased space between the minus and nabla. See this page for instructions on defining your own symbol tokens.

For some reason, inserting the symbol inline by %UxE142 does not work for me. Inline unicode insert works fine for other character codes.
